Easterseals Crossroads is celebrating ability in an exciting way — please join us! Our evening of ability will feature Jen Bricker, who is a renowned aerialist, author and motivational speaker.

Jen shares her compelling story on her website:

Jen Bricker was born without legs and with her heart on the opposite side of her chest. Shocked and uncertain they could care for a child with two birth defects, her biological parents gave her up for adoption. In her loving adoptive home, there was just one simple rule: “Never say ‘can’t.” And pretty soon, there was nothing that this small but mighty powerhouse set her sights on that she couldn’t conquer: rollerskating, volleyball, power tumbling, spinning from silk ribbons 30 feet in the air.

And then . . . from the strange magnetic pull she felt when watching Olympic gymnast Dominique Moceanu to her discovery that they are biological sisters and their emotional reunion.
